His little web page speaks much of the vital necessity for reasoned discourse, challenging prejudice, looking behind the obvious, because the stakes are enormous. Maybe he should read what he wrote, and try some of that sometime. But that would only be for people who AGREE WITH HIM, I see. Academic freedom, with "reasonable restrictions." Or un-.
It becomes clear why the first thing communists do when they take power is liquidate the intellectuals who helped put them there. When you are an absolutist, moral relativism only works in your favor when it's applied against your opposition's "perceived liberties." The eggheads would eventually start second-guessing the kommissars, and that just wouldn't do at all.
Hey, Jerold Duquette here, the guy with the Little web page" who Sean wants to lynch.
Actually, I have another web page www.jeroldduquette.org.
The overreactions to my comments were very interesting. folks seem to believe that knowing what actually happened is unnecessary.
Anyway, I have openned a dialogue with a couple of the folks who initially sent me hate email. When you get past knee-jerking, real dialogue is possible. I always welcome reasoned debate.

now that you mention it, yes, "knowing what happened" is unnecessary.
it's clear that a pragmatist rationalizes law and order backwards from what exists any given day, trying to find some sort of theoretical middle ground.
it's also clear that the presenting student was threatened with force for his thoughts and statements.
do i somehow not "know" this because i wasn't present? it's impossible for him to have thought or said something that victimized anyone by any sane definition of property.
yet the police were called. this is not a thought, and it is not a statement. it is an action. it is a threat of force.
Jon,
While you lost me on the "pragmatic rationalization" it seems that you believe that the CCSU are also liberal anti-gun zeolots, which I see as another baseless claim.
But this is the problem with rationalization isn't it.

Obviously your vision isn't what it should be if you can't see what is obvious.
